A commercial pressure cooker doesn't achieve sufficient pressure/temperature required to completely sterilize. They usually reach a maximum of 15 psi. Autoclaves run in the 25-30 psi range. Hepatitis bacteria spores are some unbelievably hardy things and unless you can be 100% sure you can kill them, you run the risk of spreading infection. Autoclave pressure/temperature settings are based on the ability to reliably kill these spores...this is tested monthly using a spore test that is sent back to a testing facility to confirm the proper operation.

A steam sterolizer is in basic terms a tension canner. A tension canner and tension cooker function the comparable way. That being reported great heated boilg water nonetheless does not sterilize. you desire complete steam saturation. A tension cooker won't provide you this.
